Need getViewIterator() method to work with a variable number of views
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: UIMA-465
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-465
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core Java Framework
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: Eddie Epstein
Based on user feedback, a common design pattern is for an annotator to want to
process a set of Views in a CAS. Currently user code can do this using
getSofaIterator() and testing each SofaFS to see if it matches the requirement.
A simpler approach is to have a new method:
Iterator getViewIterator(viewname)
where viewname represents a Sofa name prefix. As with Sofa mapping, this API
would return all views with names matching viewname.*. Sofa mapping would be
respected, so "viewname" could be mapped.
